“K-9 Rambo would like everyone to know that if you commit an armed robbery (or any other violent crime) in Marion County, he will catch you, no matter how far he has to run or how many fences he has to jump to get to you,” the office said in a statement on Oct. 1.

Andre Baker, 29, allegedly robbed a couple of $40 at gunpoint. The Ocala Police Department then issued a warrant for his arrest.

“Baker has fled from law enforcement before. … He even told witnesses that he would flee from law enforcement by running into the woods,” the office said.

Weeks before that, police released footage of a Pasco County takedown involving a man who tried to kidnap a child.

The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said in September that the suspect “arrived at a residence and climbed up to the second-floor window and attempted to gain access to the residence.” Officials then “learned that this suspect had a no-contact order in place at the residence and that the residents were known to the suspect,” the office said.

“After tracking through the woods, Sgt. Ferguson and K-9 Titan came upon the individual running through the woods at which point K-9 Titan was deployed and apprehended the individual who was arrested,” said the office. Deputies said the child suffered minor scratches in the incident, the Brandenton Herald reported.
